Cute as Hell had the music video that reached number one and the Purgatory Lounges were a success&#8230;however Andy and I didn&#8217;t get to put out a record like we hoped. Seriously, this is one of our Ultimate Dreams as a Married Couple.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>start vidcasting for vertical house records<\/strong> (totally didn&#8217;t happen, but this was a project we would be working with the Dead Workers on&#8230;and they got slammed this year.

Also, I feel like we have grown so much as a business and I can&#8217;t wait to see what the next 365 days hold for us.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>start and maintain Hi-Fi Weddings (so close to launching!) and hopefully get big in the blog-o-sphere<\/strong> (DONE AND DONE!
